It's going to be confusing to have Tatiana and Titania in this.

First episode was ok. I know She-Hulk is all about living a fabulous big woman life as a lawyer (which I'm all here for) but I hope there's still some smashing that happens from time to time.
Also really liked this episode since it was kind of the first time in the MCU proper (Ignoring Hulk 2 - everyone should ignore Hulk 2) where we kinda get exposed to some of Bruce's damage. At least, explored with any modicum of depth vs being shortly insinuated in the bg of a much bigger series of events as a side show.

Episode 2 of She-Hulk is precisely what I wanted out of She-Hulk

Having not seen Shang Chi yet, did that move explain how exactly The Abomination and Wong ended up in that cage match? Or is it likely the show will handle that next week?
It was completely unexplained at the time
Show is a lot of fun, but She-Hulk being funny doesn't stand out as much in the MCU where everything is.
It's just a quick scene with no explanation in Shang Chi.

Episode 6 coda:
A shadow looms over the Walters' threshold door.
There is a knock.
Mr. Walters opens door.
Walters looks on in horror, frozen with fear, over the shoulder of the visitor.
Mr. Walters: "I... I thought you were dead. I KILLED YOU!"
Mystery Man: "Oh, cousin.... Don't be ridiculous."
End Credits

She-Hulk is, two episodes in, pretty ok. The themes so far about Jenn struggling with other people defining her identity for her, or seemingly only hiring/firing her for optics purposes unrelated to any talent-based merit, is a very woman-in-the-workplace oriented theme, but something just about any type of minority can find relatable. I'm hoping She-Hulk leaves this shitty law firm by the end of the season and goes into business for herself.
Anyone with more complete knowledge of mcu junk know what Hulk's ride was there when he left town?

It's the same ship from the first episode, which Hulk described as being from Sakaar, the junk planet Jeff Goldblum ruled in Ragnarok. I suspect this means Hulk will be in The Marvels and/or Guardians (though probably in smaller capacity in either).
Sakaar is also the planet he and Thor were stuck on in Ragnarok, and in the comics was the impetus for both the Planet and World War Hulk storylines.
Could also just mean nothing and is just there as an excuse to keep Regular Hulk out of the show as a little winky-nod reference

Why doesn’t Wong have his own movie and/or show?

which show was that

Agents of SHIELD. It was built up to be something important but was basically ignored.
What was funny about Agents of SHIELD was that the show started out so reverent and respectful of the world crafted by the movies, eagerly picking up every little scrap of leftovers it could spin into a plot point. Eventually it seemed like the writers started getting frustrated at Kevin Feige not returning their calls and began to invent bigger and crazier plot points, seemingly just to see if someone would notice and stop them. No one ever did, so by the end they had a world that was completely incompatible with the MCU proper, with seemingly thousands of Inhumans running around thanks to [checks notes] tainted fish oil, and a timeline that acknowledges Thanos' arrival on Earth but, bizarrely, ignores the Snap.
Hah, I forgot Jackson showed up in SHIELD and I watched the whole series!
IMO the reason they go back in time in the last season is largely so they can ignore the Snap.

To be fair that’s because Thanos was stopped by… Glen Talbot breaking the earth to pieces using his gravity powers.
It's been a minute but my recollection is that the Earth being shattered was the bad timeline that they prevented.
Yes, but
there were a bunch of time shenanigans so I guess that technically both did and did not happen.

Okay, so the Netflix stuff made Daredevil spiral directly out of Avengers (1), as the reason Hell's Kitchen is the way it is is the invasion. And Runaways and Cloak and Dagger definitely crossed over with each other. But did Runaways/Cloak ever properly crossover with the MCU?
It is kind of an interesting implication that Earth being destroyed (by Talbot, I still kinda LOL at that) would have prevented the Snap entirely.
The show crossover elements, IIRC, always branched out from MCU movies, but never branched back in.
Oh right, he was there with papa Stark.

Well now I'm suddenly intensely curious what "other" is. Flash cartoons? Serialized ads on the sides of passing buses?
